Guests to the area will now have one more choice when it comes to where to book a stay. Courtyard by Marriott Westbury Long Island opened its doors in Westbury last Friday, July 1. Featuring an innovative lobby space and Courtyard’s latest contemporary room design, the new hotel provides flexibility and choices that allow guests to optimize and elevate their travel experience.
The 145-room hotel located at 1800 Privado Rd. will operate as a Marriott franchise, owned by CHSGN Long Island Hotel Partners and managed by Chartwell Hospitality of Franklin, TN. The Courtyard Westbury Long Island offers guests convenient access to Eisenhower Park, Jones Beach, Roosevelt Field Mall, Hofstra University and the NYCB Theatre.
Courtyard’s latest room design offers hybrid zones for working, sleeping, relaxing and getting ready. Indirect lighting and a neutral, tone-on-tone color palette makes for a soothing and calm environment.
“From day one, Courtyard has prided itself as a brand that listens to business travelers,” said Callette Nielsen, vice president and global brand manager, Courtyard. “Today’s technology has changed how people travel. Our guests want a room that has purpose and flexibility that enables a seamless transition between relaxing and working. Courtyard is designed to offer them a relaxing and functional space to work the way they want to, when they want to.”
The new room design is intuitive and thoughtful. Upon arrival, guests can store bags on the “Luggage Drop” and plug personal devices into the “Tech Drop” ledge for seamless technology integration.
Signature furniture and architectural elements replace traditional art in the new guest room. The “LoungeAround” sofa offers a pop of color and a comfortable area for relaxing or for working. The new design also features a light desk on wheels, allowing guests to work from anywhere in the room.
An upgraded, more spacious layout creates an enhanced bathroom experience. A “Shower Nook,” which holds shampoos and towels, makes amenities accessible within the shower.
The Courtyard Westbury Long Island also offers a refreshing business lobby environment, where guests can enjoy an open and bright area outside their rooms. Along with media pods, complimentary Wi-Fi and a variety of seating zones, the redefined space is ideal for everything from pop-up meetings to social gatherings. The lobby also features The Bistro – Eat. Drink. Connect®, which offers casual, flexible seating; easy access to food; high quality, healthy options for breakfast; and light evening fare, including snacks, cocktails, wine and beer, so guests can unwind.
The business library features several computer terminals, along with a printer, and separate computer stations dedicated solely to printing airline boarding passes and checking flight status.
Green has been Courtyard’s signature color since Marriott launched the brand 30 years ago. Now it is even greener with the introduction of a guest recycling program for the environment. Receptacles for paper, glass, plastic and metal are conveniently located by side exits.
The six-story hotel features an indoor swimming pool, an outdoor fire pit, fitness center and guest laundry, and offers 2,208 square feet of meeting space to accommodate functions of up to 100 people.
